• kcuSim -t (resets timing counters)
• kcuSim -s (dumps stats)
• Watch for these errors: RxDecErrs 0 RxDspErrs 0
• reload the driver with "systemctl restart tdetsim"
• currently driver is in /usr/local/sbin/datadev.ko, should be in /lib/modules/<kernel>/extra/
• reloading the driver does a soft-reset of the KCU (resetting buffer pointers etc.).
• if the soft-reset doesn't work, power-cycle is the hard-reset.

datadev Driver

• user "systemctl list-unit-files" to see if tdetsim.service or kcu.service is enabled
• associated .service files are in /usr/lib/systemd/system/
• to see if events are flowing from the hardware to the software: "cat /proc/datadev_0" and watch "Tot Buffer Use" counter under "Read Buffers"
